Republicans in search of an attack line against Hillary Clinton have begun to cast her as a tired relic of the past  an implicit contrast to their own bench of up-and-comers like hip hop-listening Marco Rubio and libertarian-leaning Rand Paul. But Democrats are confident that giving voters the chance to make history by electing the first female president  by definition a forward-looking act  would trump any argument that Clinton is too 20th century and give her a change mantra of her own

If Secretary Clinton runs, shell be the nominee  the first female nominee of either party, said Stephanie Cutter, a former top adviser to the Obama White House and campaign. That breaks through the old tagline that the Republican geniuses are cooking up because, if handled correctly, women of all ages will absolutely be inspired by that. I dont recommend that be the totality of her message or platform, but theres no way to hide that fact and it certainly shouldnt be discounted. 

Its the type of first campaign that was a hallmark of the Barack Obama 2008 effort, even if he didnt overtly run that way. Clinton ran a campaign that was focused primarily on experience and strength in 2008, after the pollster for her poll-driven campaign found that her gender could hurt more than help.

Yet this time, with a different political environment and, most likely, the absence of an Obama-like figure to contend with in a primary, Democrats believe that Clintons potential to become the countrys first female to win the White House would galvanize voters of all ages...................These idiots are dreaming or smoking bad weed.

Hillary is a ‘never was’ not a ‘has been.’ She has screwed up everything she has ever done other than her numerous perjured testimonies under oath. Some of her failures include Hillary Care, her run for the presidency and Benghazi.

(from the article):” If Secretary Clinton runs, shell be the nominee  the first female nominee of either party, said Stephanie Cutter, a former top adviser to the Obama White House and campaign. That breaks through the old tagline that the Republican geniuses are cooking up because, if handled correctly, women of all ages will absolutely be inspired by that. “

More specificly , “That breaks through the ‘old’ tagline that the RHINOe ( elites) are cooking up ...”

Also , lest we forget , Hillary’s academic Masters thesis was all about Saul Alinsky and application of Saul’s “Rules for Radicals “.
If you think the : economics/ judicial / foreign policy / jobs /stateism / Federal overreach was bad under Zero ,..
You haven’t seen anything yet !
Hillary not only studied directly under Saul Alinsky, himself ,
she also espouses his political philosophy of activism.
Saul Alinsky ,himself , wanted Hillary to be his activist successor ; she chose politics and political career !

(Â“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.Â” - Ronald Reagan)

She usually says she “works hard for ___” or “will stand with ___”, but never any real points on the board.

When she was a lawyer at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, AR, Bill was AG and then Governor. I remember being a small investor in a company that built a new plant in AR and needed a waste water permit in order to begin construction. The company’s management applied for the permit and noting happened. A few local contractors asked what law firm prepared the filing, and then told the managers that they needed to re-file using Rose Law Firm and be sure to ask for HRC (so she was given credit for “rainmaking” new clients). Rose did not charge more than any other firm, so the company refiled and got the permit in short order. Was that bribery? In my book, yes.
